Animals living in the wild have skin or coat colors that help them blend in with their surroundings. If you are prey, it is best not to stick out, or you will be easily caught. Any predator who is easily seen won’t be able to hunt and survive for long. Every now and again an albino animal is born, and they are a source of fascination and wonder for humans since ancient times.

Their beauty and rarity draw crowds at zoos. Albinism is an inherited condition that is characterized by either a complete or partial absence of pigment (known as melanin) in the eyes, skin, and hair. According to Wikipedia, a person or animal born with no melanin is called an albino while an organism that has only a partial absence of melanin is albinoid or leucistic.

Their light-colored skin leaves animals more susceptible to sun cancer, sunburn, and other health problems. But the 31 all-white animals pictured below are simply stunning. Seeing these animals in the wild would be a rare experience because they are quite vulnerable to predators.
